@sandyabbey We have a lot in common. I also got Cdiff after taking Clindamycin for a sinus infection this past April. Within 2 weeks of finishing the RX, I had Cdiff. I took 10 days of Flagyl. Five days after finishing that, Cdiff returned. I then did 10 days of Vancomycin and again, 5 days after finishing the med, Cdiff returned. I then did the pulse and taper Vanco for 5 or 6 weeks. I thought that might have worked. But 3 weeks after ending the pulse and taper, Cdiff returned. After my 4th bout, I took Dificid for 10 days. It's a pricey med. $5,000 for 20 pills. My co-pay was almost $1,000. I finished that med on 10/26. So far, so good. If Cdiff returns, I'm doing a fecal transplant. I've looked in to the pill form from Open Biome. It's $635 for 30 pills and you take them all at one setting. I haven't discussed this with my gastroenterologist so I'm not sure how he feels about the pill form. He has me taking Florastor. Are you taking a probiotic with Saccharomyces Boulardii. It's the best for Cdiff since it doesn't dissolve with stomach acid and goes to work in your intestine.
